What a matchup we have here, folks, with the Canberra Raiders and South Sydney Rabbitohs clashing horns once again. Round 14, one of the many wrinkles in the epic marathon that is the NRL regular season.
Now, let's get right into it. Diving back into the annals of time, or at least a couple years back, our dear State capital boys, the Raiders have been having quite the upper hand when dealing with the Rabbitohs, nearly making them an endangered species with scores like 32-12 and 33-26. So, historical advantage? Raiders, no question about it.
As for the current situation, the Canberra Raiders, sitting comfortably up on the #2 throne, while the Rabbitohs have been hopping around underwhelmingly at #9. Now that's a sight for sore eyes if you're backing Raiders, I'll tell you that much. The momentum seems to be in Canberra's favor with 10 wins under their belt, as opposed to the Rabbitohs with a meager 6. Raiders seem to be riding the wave of victory like pros while the Rabbitohs, let's say they're still paddling to catch up.
Peeking into the rear-view mirror for recent results, the Raiders have been quite consistent, tossing aside opponents like ragdolls with a tad blip against Canterbury Bulldogs. The Rabbitohs, though? Well, let's just say, they've been wavering even more than a rabbit's whiskers. Tossing it around with a mixture of victories and jaw-dropping losses, consistency is one thing they seem to be lacking.
Well then, at the crux of the matter, who’s going to be hobbling away with the victory, with a wacky grin on their faces and a dented prize in their hands?
Albert’s Prediction: Canberra Raiders by 8.
